I know Leo's are wonderful!
I got my first dog, a Leo -93 and have been faithful to the breed since.
I was only 12 years old but would not have any other breed.
My parents -Lets get a Labrador or Golden like everybody else- went to the deaf ears, I would not want a dog at all unless it was a Leo. I would wait until I would be "old enough" to have one as I was understandably told they are too big for you to handle!
After a year of not giving up and settling on another breed (I had wanted a dog as long as I could remember) my mum decided that it really must be what I want and I got my Bonnie.
Got a bit side tracked, sorry...
That would be wonderful if Defra changes the rules and puppies will be able to enter the country a lot earlier than now, as it can limit you quite a lot having to find somebody to look after the pup and yes it is expensive, I have been saving the pennies for 6 months now and will keep saving untill the pup comes home.
I bet there will be lot more dogs coming in if the rule changes, which would do a lot of good to many breeds.
Would anybody have any idea when this might happen?
My mum will be looking after the pup while we are waiting for her pet-passport.
I will be getting a little girl as I hope to start breeding if the pup is all I hope she will be.
I'm lucky to have my mum, who already has experience looking after a giant pup as I know I would find it difficult to find somebody who I would trust to look after my precious baby. And this obviously cuts off the cost of boarding too which is a bonus!
Leos being such a large breed they are so easy to spoil with wrong feeding etc. and you need to know how to handle a sensitive Leo mind too (Leo people know what I mean :) ) so that the pup grows up to be that wonderful confident adult.
